5.What is the effect of issuing a wait() method on an object
a.If a notify() method has already been sent to that object then it has no effect
b.The object issuing the call to wait() will halt until another object sends a notify() or notifyAll() method
c.An exception will be raised
d.The object issuing the call to wait() will be automatically synchronized with any other objects using the receiving object.


The answer given is b. I think none of the options are correct.
Am I right?
Thanks.
